Do we still have the dropbox account? I can upload them to there, they are fairly small files.Jordan Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081338627490517416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602429848285909149.post-67816025190522097832014-03-11T16:28:31.350-07:002014-03-11T16:28:31.350-07:00oh also - it occurs to me that we should perhaps a...oh also - it occurs to me that we should perhaps agree on some presentation 'rules' - i.e. presenting on a white background - as above - and maybe at particular aspect ratios - only in terms of bringing all the various experiments into somekind of basic cohesion for presenting on here - and maybe compiling at a later date? Obviously, it doesn't have to be dictatorship, but perhaps the two of you might establishing some branding principles - for example, the typography for naming the various elements of the music to which the curve relates - that sort of thing.tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602429848285909149.post-31706464054626937262014-03-11T14:35:21.838-07:002014-03-11T14:35:21.838-07:00Thanks all, glad it's helpful. These were all ...Thanks all, glad it's helpful. These were all created from sequence 4 - Sanctusi. I'll add that the to contact sheet and continue to include it in future posts. In regards to how this could develop, it was all fairly simple stuff. <br /><br />Some experiments are using particle instancing, which most year 2 / 3 students should know. This is basically a set of abstract shapes created to the music, then instanced onto particles as the emitter moves round the curve.<br /><br />Some are done simply by using elements as flat planes and revolving them etc. So, it could be possible to simply give the students a set of flat pack pieces which they then manipulate, arrange etc. But still plenty more to test out so there may be an alternative solution out there.Jordan Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081338627490517416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602429848285909149.post-63798581818883914472014-03-11T13:39:18.050-07:002014-03-11T13:39:18.050-07:00A question for Jordan then; in light of your exper...A question for Jordan then; in light of your experience of creating this set - do you think year 2/year 3 students could be let similarly loose in terms of 'happening' to the curves in this same way? In short - how did you arrive at these forms and how might others?tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602429848285909149.post-36906636736698923212014-03-11T13:37:20.401-07:002014-03-11T13:37:20.401-07:00GREAT!

I'm really interested in getting a closer look at the green one (second down on the left from the top) and also the small red one, second up from the bottom on the right - they look very structural to me! Really great to see these, Jordan - and Ethan? I hope you're worrying a bit less now. More please - everyone! Just one rule in terms of cataloging and tracking changes; can we always name the various curve experiments via their named section in the Requiem - just so we can order them into 'chapters' or categories as we start to make more and more. Thanks! :)tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602429848285909149.post-72713181302180503352014-03-11T09:53:28.477-07:002014-03-11T09:53:28.477-07:00What a nice surprise!What a nice surprise!AFlockOfPixelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669296239837694573noreply@blogger.com
